How do I add a link? Simple!
If you want to add a link to a website that you found you need the URL (web address) for that website. Here is how you do it:
For example, I want to add a link to the Wisconsin Humane Society. That URL is: http://www.wihumane.org/
So, to add a link from a wiki page to a website - like the Wisconsin Humane Society:
Go to the site and copy the URL - located in the address field at the top or the webpage (http://www.wihumane.org/)
Go to the Wiki page and Type in some text like: Click here to go to the Wisconsin Humane Society or just WHS
Highlight that text
In the 'floating' Editor toolbar, select 'Link'
Click on 'External Link' and paste the URL in to that field
Test your link
PS - An 'external link' is one that is NOT a wiki page - it is located OUTSIDE of your wiki. A Wiki link will be a link to a page inside your wiki
